Try by yourself to apply the submitted patch mails with git-am on the latest for-linus (or master) branch.
ok, the problem is indeed patch corruption, but it's not your fault. trailing tabs got stripped from the patches in flight.
while my reading of https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321#section-2.3.10 is that MTAs may not just strip trailing whitespace, the ones i tried apparently do. somebody may want to verify that ...
anyway, you can still apply the patches by adding --ignore-whitespace to git-am's command line.
if the process doesn't permit that, i'll re-post after convincing git-send-email to apply quoted-printable content-transfer-encoding to ensure preservation of trailing whitespace.
